On a more serious note, S.W.A.T would like to share some information about vaping and how dangerous it can be for our students and our loved ones. Nicotine can impair the development of our brains. Vaping contains cancer-causing chemicals and heavy metals. Vaping can cause throat irritation and worsen respiratory conditions. Please read the attached poster to learn more about the dangers of vaping and encourage others to just stay no! For more information about vaping, please visit https://stopswithme.com/
Briggs Student Wellness Action Team (S.W.A.T.) focuses on healthy eating, physical activity, avoiding tobacco and ways to fight against temptations that may be harmful to the health of others.
This month S.W.A.T. is showcasing some sneaky ways to "disguise" healthy veggies in meals and a recipe to make sweet potato biscuits. They have also shared a fun Winter Wonderland Scavenger Hunt. If we see some of our Briggs kiddos out and about dancing around and waving their arms in the air when they see holiday inflatables...we will know you read this post! Stay tuned for more healthy living and snack ideas!
Tomorrow is a big day for our Robotics Teams!!! We have 3 teams participating in the Bixby Robotics Tournament. We wish the best of luck to Looney Toons, Big Botz and PickleBotz! This year's game is called Rapid Relay. We highly encourage you to view the link for more information about Rapid Relay and the challenge our kiddos will be facing. It really is impressive! Best wishes to our Robotics Teams! Do your thing!

Mrs. Davenport's 5th grade Science class participated in the Egg Drop challenge just before Thanksgiving Break. Students were given the task to design a container that would protect an egg from breaking when dropped off the roof from 30 ft onto gravel. They had to brainstorm different types of ways to insulate their containers to give their egg the best chance of passing the test! Students tested their containers and announced their results with a thumbs up or a thumbs down!
On December 4th, our Gifted and Talented students participated in a hands-on activity with Ozobots. Ozobots are little robots that are designed as an introduction to coding. Students learned to use color combinations to move the Ozobot on a path from one location to another. A big thank you to Olivia Jorgensen from Cherokee Nation for this fun opportunity for our GT kiddos!
